Entering the territory of Russia, Lu Ping also has his own plans.

As we all know, Russia is very rich in mineral resources because of its vast territory. Before the end of the world, Russia was also a major exporter of minerals, producing more minerals annually than any other country in the world.

This includes the world's largest diamond mine, the Siberian "Peace" diamond mine, which is also home to the world's second largest mine.

As a result of excessive mining, the "Peace" diamond mines in Siberia have accumulated over time to form a huge cavern with a diameter of about 1 mile and a depth of more than 500 meters, which can be seen even from space.

It was like a scar deep on the Earth's body, and even helicopters were forbidden to fly over it. Because it was so big, the turbulent air caused by the massive cavern was strong enough to suck the helicopter into its belly. And once the helicopter encounters this violent air flow generated in the mine, the chance of escape is close to zero!

Of course, the place where the "Peace" diamond mine in Siberia is located is also the coldest place in the whole of Russia, and the winter temperatures are absolutely unbearable for ordinary people. I remember Sergei Ivanov, a retired Siberian miner, who once said: "The weather in January is very difficult, and when you stand quietly, you will hear the crunch of the ground, which is the sound of your exhaled gas condensing into ice and falling to the ground." ”

This shows how cold the temperature is there.

But now, in the midst of such apocalyptic times, even the Antarctic has become warm and pleasant, let alone near the "peace" diamond mines in Siberia.

This time, Lu Ping's goal was precisely the "peace" diamond mine.

Although the energy points contained in precious energy sources such as diamonds and oil are pitifully low compared to the crystal nuclei in the bodies of unknown and mutated organisms, they are fortunately more abundant.

The sheer volume is more than enough to make up for the lack of their exchange price.

In addition to being able to exchange for energy points, diamonds also have a use, which Lu Ping inadvertently saw from the base information provided to him by Xuzi.

In Lu Ping's impression, the ore gathering site has always been a building used to recover mineral resources and provide energy points for himself, but in the information given to him by Xuzi, he was surprised to discover another use of the ore gathering field - smelting and manufacturing.

The smelting here does not simply refer to the smelting of steel, as long as it is an object on the periodic table, it can be purified or made to a special state, so as to facilitate the later manufacturing work. Gold ore, for example, can be purified through smelting, and the purity of the extracted gold is enough to reach 99% purity, which is much more powerful than any of the most advanced refining tools in the world.

Diamonds, on the other hand, can naturally also use the smelting function. A normal person may ask: what can a diamond do with its smelting function?

It is true that, according to normal people's thinking, diamonds seem to have no other uses than for decoration, but this is in the eyes of normal people.

In the list of major units in the Red Alert base, Lu Ping found a lot of things through the mixed information on that page. For example, the clothing of individual combat equipment worn by soldiers today is mixed with a lot of refined diamonds.

With the hardness of diamonds, the defense of individual combat equipment can be effectively improved.

Not only that, but if the warhead of some armor-piercing shells is replaced with diamonds, then its penetration ability will also be greatly enhanced.

In addition, Lu Ping even saw a special bomb - using an unknown special substance fused with diamonds, it can create a powerful artillery shell that is no less powerful than an intercontinental missile!

The advantage of such shells, in addition to their high explosive power, is that they are small in size. Normally, these diamond-made shells can be loaded into a normal barrel, used as ammunition, and fired.

Interestingly, these shells do not explode immediately even if they hit the target, they can be remotely controlled. As long as the fire is high enough, the soldiers can control the barrel to explode through the remote control device.

In this way, the diamond bombs hidden inside the barrel will fly out like a meteor shower, creating a large area of damage, and each one is no less powerful than an intercontinental missile, which can definitely achieve a surprise effect.

Especially in siege warfare, even if the fired shells are destroyed by the enemy's interceptors, they can be completely unharmed by the solidity of the diamonds, and they will also splash into the enemy with the power of the explosion, forming a round of fierce bombardment.

This is also a factor that Lu Ping values the most, otherwise he would not have bothered to come to Russia.

The floating island fortress stopped its advance more than 30 kilometers from the mainland, and according to forecasts, Siberia is a relatively safe place, and there is an 80 percent chance that the flood has not yet spread.

And since it is land over there, the floating island fortress naturally can't drive through, so you can only replace land vehicles.

However, for the sake of safety, Lu Ping will send a landing force, the purpose is to record the terrain and dangers along the way, and then you will determine the best landing and departure route, so that you will not be like a headless fly at the beginning.

Of course, that's just one of the points. In addition to surveying the terrain and inspecting the current situation in Russia, the landing force was also tasked with setting up camps.

As soon as they get close to the "peace" diamond mines, the defender bombers who have been following them will return to the floating island fortress to report the situation, and then the large force will begin to depart. During the period of time when the large force arrives at the "Peace" mine, the landing force must first build a temporary camp and destroy all unknown or mutated creatures in the vicinity that may endanger the camp.

If they encounter survivors, they will also be responsible for negotiating and trying to evict them peacefully or confine them to an area so that they do not interfere with the mining work.

And for this mining, Lu Ping was fully prepared, in addition to the original three mining vehicles, he recruited two armed mining vehicles.

Equipped with a heavy machine gun, this mining vehicle can be used not only for mining, but also as an armored unit if necessary. In terms of attack power, it may not be very powerful, but when it comes to defense, I am afraid that only a tsunami tank with a nano shield can compare with it.

Acting on land, this armed mining vehicle is undoubtedly much more suitable than the chrono mining vehicle, even if it encounters unknown creatures and mutated creatures, it can destroy them with powerful machine gun fire, and its independence has been greatly enhanced. Unlike the Chrono Mining Vehicle, when encountering danger, you can only rely on your speed to escape.
